A book shelf speaker to go on a bookshelf.

VR-1 is a good speaker.

The hole in the back is not called a port as its tuning frequency is higher than that of the woofer and has no useful bass output of its own

Good luck.

NHT SB3- great speaker on its own, not terribly expensive, flush mounted tweeter, sealed box

On a bookshelf you are going to be limited as to how good anything can sound so there is little sense in spending big $$$. THis is a versitile and durable little speaker.

Good luck!
